The more I think of this though, the more I think it would be appropriate for Mailman to drop the incoming Received: headers from posts to an anonymous list. Why preserve the trace of how a post got from source to list when you want to make the source anonymous?
This makes it much more difficult to debug certain types of mail problems, including bounces and multiple deliveries of the same message, etc....
Besides, you have to sanitize more than just the "Received:" headers. All sorts of other headers might also expose personal information. You'd have to sanitize all headers, and copy over only the message body and subject lines.
